Metagenomics play a key role in therapeutic and diagnostic development; as the field of viral metagenomics expands, viral taxa are increasingly found throughout the body. Outnumbering bacteria in the microbiome 10:1, there are known viral communities linked to states of health and disease. Now the virome may provide answers to microbial-mediated phenomena where classic bacterial studies have been less helpful.
